SOVEREIGN
A DARK COWBOY ROMANCE
“I will never let you go, redbird,” he says.
His words are soft, like a declaration of love, but chilling like the cold wind through the pines.
I met Gerard Sovereign only once. Now I’m sitting across the table from him with a contract of convenience that makes me blush.
And he’s completely serious. My safety for his…pleasure.
After my husband’s death, I inherited his property which runs up against Sovereign Mountain Ranch. On the other side are my two brothers-in-law, who are out for blood and money and my land.
That leaves me with no protection except the mysterious, dangerous, and wealthy Gerard Sovereign, owner of the largest ranch in the state.
There’s no law, no safety, at Sovereign Mountain but his.
I’ve heard the stories. I think I know what kind of man Gerard Sovereign is, but I’m not prepared for what happens when I put pen to paper.
